Is Smartlipo Right for You?
Almost anyone can be a good candidate for Smartlipo. In general, the ideal candidate: (1) is in good health, exercises regularly, is within 25 lbs. of his or her ideal weight; (2) has one or more areas of local body fat deposits that have responded poorly to diet and exercise; and (3) is bothered by these fatty areas, and is motivated to get rid of them permanently.
We will review the benefits and risks of Smartlipo with you during your consultation visit, assess whether you are a good candidate with respect to your medical health, and clarify what Smartlipo could do for you. Generally, Smartlipo might be right for you if:
- You have worked hard to eat right and exercise, yet you still can not lose those “love handles” or other fat deposits you consider unsightly. Human fat, or adipose tissue, can be very hard to get rid of through exercise and diet alone. Smartlipo can be a relatively simple solution to remove stubborn fat permanently.
- You want a procedure that is FDA approved. The Smartlipo device was approved in November of 2006, and today is one of the fasting-growing, safest procedures in the cosmetic surgery field.
- You do not want loose skin as a result of the procedure. Many patients of traditional liposuction find that their skin does not adjust to the reduction of fat deposits. This tendency often results in unattractive “droops.” These patients often require skin lifts that can lead to scars, thus rendering the initial liposuction treatment useless. But by pulling the surrounding skin inward, Smartlipo laser technology can reconstruct the layers immediately under the patient's skin, completely eliminating skin drooping.
- You want something more affordable than traditional liposuction.
- You want permanent results.
To be a good candidate for Smartlipo, you should have realistic expectations about the procedure's capabilities. And while Smartlipo can improve your appearance and self-confidence, it will not necessarily match your mental ideal, nor will it cause other people to act differently toward you. Before you decide to have Smartlipo, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with the physician during your consultation visit.
